When you think of sewing bags, you might not automatically think of sewing with Cuddle fabric. But, the clever designers in this book have thought of a project we are really excited about. It's a Cuddle and laminated cotton Park Blanket-- that folds up into a tote--! ...So you can take it with you when you're on the go!

Cuddle Park Blanket from On the Go Bags

On the front and Velcro flap of this self-binding Cuddle blanket is Robert Kaufman Urban Zoologie laminated cotton by Ann Kelle. It's easy to take your picnic with you when you sew this mess-free blanket! This pattern, and 14 other unique organizers for everyday life, are included in this new sewing book On the Go Bags.

The color used in this example is Chevron Jade Embossed Cuddle. You could make this project in so many color combinations, and still have fun choosing! The blanket has a layer of quilt batting in the middle to make it extra cushy.
